SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Ava Cosey - Black Art Houston
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Holocaust Museum Houston will host free admission Sunday\, February 18\, courtesy of Shell USA\, in honor of Black Art Houston. Join Khambrel Marshall at 2 p.m. in conversation with Houston artist Ava Cosey as she reflects on her work including “Ancestor’s Torch” featured in The Kinsey African American Art & History Collection\, on view in the Josef and Edith Mincberg Gallery through June 23\, 2024. \nFrom the restless seas and the missing torn out pages of our history books\, the “Ancestor’s Torch” painting strives to exemplify the agony of the enslaved trade ship and to relay the bellowing spirit of endurance from our ancestors. Mocking history\, resounding words of inventions and contributions by African Americans from the 18th century and beyond are intricately designed by the artist\, Ava Cosey which are intertwined throughout the garment. \nCosey\, a HBCU Business Education graduate\, is a phenomenally gifted artist and printmaker.  In 1997\, she experienced an epiphany that catapulted her into a creative\, remarkable talent. \n“Art rejuvenates my soul\,” said Cosey.  “Led by infinite inspiration and divine guidance\, I am fascinated by the startling effect of visualization.  I am dedicated to my gift and my passion is to share my God given talents.  My goal is to capture the interest of the viewer by creating a visual that will intrigue and invoke emotions which relates to their experiences.” \nCosey works in a variety of mediums\, i.e.\, oil acrylic\, pastels\, ink and mixed media; and also uses the process of monoprints\, silkscreens\, etchings\, sculpting and fiber.  She uses vivid colors\, majestic characters and universal themes to paint meaningful images\, places and things.  Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.

SUMMARY:Resisters: How Ordinary Jews Fought Persecution in Hitler's Germany
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Jewish resistance during the Holocaust is still understood mostly in terms of rare armed group activities in the Nazi occupied East\, for example ghetto uprisings or partisan activities. This new research is based on a broader definition and countless hitherto untapped sources\, including local police and court records as well as video testimonies of survivors. Introducing five new categories of resistance\, the talk shows how between 1933 and 1945 Jews performed countless resistance acts in Nazi Germany proper\, by destroying Nazi symbols\, publicly protesting against the persecution\, disobeying Nazi laws and local restrictions\, and defending themselves from verbal insults as well as physical attacks. The fact that so many German Jewish women and men of all ages\, educations and professions defied the Nazis obliterates the common view of the passivity of Jews under Nazi persecution. Their courageous acts\, however\, still need to be incorporated into the general narrative of the persecution of the Jews in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust in general. \nWolf Gruner (PhD\, Technical University Berlin) is the Shapell-Guerin Chair in Jewish Studies and Professor of History at the University of Southern California\, Los Angeles since 2008\, and Founding Director of the USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research since 2014. He is an appointed member of the Academic Committee at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum since 2017. He is the author of eleven books\, among them Jewish Forced Labor under the Nazis. Economic Needs and Nazi Racial Aims with Cambridge University Press (2006)\, Parias de la Patria“. El mito de la liberación de los indígenas en la República de Bolivia 1825-1890 (2015)\, and the prizewinning The Holocaust in Bohemia and Moravia. Czech Initiatives\, German Policies\, Jewish Responses (2019). He coedited four books\, including „Resisting Persecution. Jews and Their Petitions during the Holocaust” (2020)\, and “New Perspectives on Kristallnacht: After 80 Years\, the Nazi Pogrom in Global Comparison” (2019). His new book is called: Resisters. How Ordinary Jews fought Hitler’s Persecution\, Yale University Press 2023. \nPublic programs at Holocaust Museum Houston are presented by Memorial Hermann.

SUMMARY:Film Screening | "999: The Forgotten Girls"
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				In the spring of 1942\, the Nazis ordered the Slovak government to send a slave labor force and received 999 teenage\, Jewish girls. Their railway ticket was a one-way trip to Auschwitz. \nFirst-time Director/Producer and author of the international best-selling book\, 999\, Heather Dune Macadam spent eleven years interviewing survivors of the first transport all over the world. Digging through family and government archives\, 999 unearths ground-breaking research that reveals this untold story entirely from a female perspective. \nThose who survived endured more than three years in the death camps and beg us to ask the question: Why were girls targeted first? \nJoin Holocaust Museum Houston for a screening of the newly released documentary 999: The Forgotten Girls. Following the screening will be a Q&A session with Heather Dune Macadam\, as well as a presentation of the work behind her research.

SUMMARY:Film Screening | "June Zero"
DESCRIPTION:American filmmaker Jake Paltrow revisits the 1962 trial of Adolf Eichmann with a gripping Hebrew-language historical drama centered on three Israeli characters on the periphery of Eichmann’s last days: a precocious Libyan immigrant boy\, a Moroccan prison guard and a Polish Holocaust survivor working for the prosecution. With Eichmann relegated to the background\, the trio’s seemingly ordinary lives become intertwined in the extraordinary\, seminal moment. Warmly saturated 16mm filming gives a rich\, antique texture to all three storylines. \nHolocaust Museum Houston is a proud community partner for this event. \n			\n				GET TICKETS

SUMMARY:Zikaron BaSalon
DESCRIPTION:RSVP FOR IN PERSON\n			\n				RSVP FOR VIRTUAL\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Zikaron BaSalon\, “Remembering in the Living Room” in Hebrew\, is an initiative which started in 2011 with the goal to commemorate the Holocaust and its victims on a more personal and individualistic level. Focusing much more on survivors sharing their unique experiences and promoting conversation between survivors and those listening\, Zikaron BaSalon distinguishes itself from other Holocaust Education initiatives by focusing entirely on the human impact that can only be shared in a smaller\, well-connected setting\, with Holocaust survivors and their descendants. \nJoin Holocaust Museum Houston’s Zikaron BaSalon conversation\, as a small panel of survivors and descendants discuss their experiences\, and the importance of preserving the memory of the Holocaust L’dor v’dor (From Generation to Generation). This event will be happening alongside the citywide Zikaron BaSalon presented by the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston on Monday\, May 6.

SUMMARY:Yom HaShoah/Walter Kase Free Admission Day
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Museum admission fees will be waived on Sunday\, May 5\, 2024 in honor of Holocaust survivor Walter Kase\, z”l and Yom HaShoah. \nWhen Germany invaded Poland in September 1939\, it soon became clear that Walter’s family’s lives would never be the same again. At the end of 1940\, Walter\, his parents and his sister\, Rysia\, were herded into a Jewish ghetto. One day in 1941\, the ghetto residents were told to gather in the city square. There\, in front of her family\, Rysia was lined up with other young children and shot to death. Twelve-year-old Walter was sent with his father to the labor camp of Pionki\, later to Auschwitz and Sosnowiec\, and finally to Mauthausen and two of its sub-camps. \nWalter and his father were liberated by the 71st Infantry Division of the United States Army on May 5\, 1945. Taken to a hospital to recuperate\, Walter regained his strength\, but his father succumbed a month later. Walter made his way back to Poland\, where he was reunited with his mother. In 1947\, Walter came to the United States\, settling in Kansas City\, Missouri. There\, he finished his schooling\, started a career in sales and was drafted and served proudly during the Korean War. Walter was able to bring his mother to the United States\, where she settled in Washington\, DC. \nWalter moved to Houston\, where he established a successful import business. He was active in Jewish causes\, sitting on the boards of the Anti-Defamation League and Holocaust Museum Houston. The Anti-Defamation League established a Teachers’ Award in Walter’s name\, and he was the first recipient of the St. Augustine Award from St. Thomas University in recognition of his life-changing impact on others.

SUMMARY:Shang-Chai
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Join us as Israeli journalist Dvir Bar-Gal shares his decades of research into the story of the Shanghai Ghetto\, and how it served not only as a refuge for European Jews\, but also became an important center for Jewish culture and history in an uncertain time. \nIn 1930’s Nazi Germany\, Jews and other communities targeted by the Reich found themselves desperate to find refuge in foreign lands. Due to antisemitism and strict immigration laws at that time\, many Jews were trapped and unable to escape to safety. One of the few\, and one of the most unknown places in which Jews were able to find shelter\, was the Chinese Port City of Shanghai.

SUMMARY:Stefi Altman Free Admission Day
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Museum admission will be waived on Wednesday\, May 15\, 2024 in honor of Holocaust survivor Stefi Altman\, z”l. \nStefi Altman was just 13 years old when Germany overran Poland in September 1939. Soon after\, Stefi’s two older brothers were arrested and sent to a labor camp\, and Nazi soldiers brutuall beat her fater and drove the family from their house. They fled to Stefi’s grandfather’s farm\, taking shelter in the barn. \nThe family remained together until 1940\, when Stefi was sent to the labor camp of Jastkov. Later she was sent to Treblinka and Majdanek. Next\, she was sent to the camp of Dorohucza. Although Dorohucza had neither gas chambers nor crematoria of the other camps\, death always hovered nearby. Like Stefi\, many of the inmates were only half alive by the time they got there. At the end of 1943\, Stefi discovered that her sister\, Kayla\, had also been sent to Dorohucza. But relief soon turned to horror when Kayla was brutally murdered. \nStefi managed\, against all odds\, to escape Dorohucza. For the remainder of the war\, she hid in a coffin-like space underneath a barn that belonged to a sympathetic Polish farmer. After she was liberated by the Soviets\, she learned that her entire family had been murdered. \nStefi Altman\, z”l\, passed away in December 2017.

SUMMARY:The Burning: The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Join the Museum for a free lecture and book signing from Tim Madigan\, author of The Burning: Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. \nOn the night of May 31 through June 1\, 1921\, following an alleged assault on a white woman\, a mob of hundreds of white supremacists descended upon the Greenwood District of Tulsa\, Oklahoma. Known at that time as Black Wall Street\, Greenwood was one of the most prosperous African American neighborhoods in the nation. By the end of the race riot\, hundreds of buildings had been laid to waste\, over 10\,000 Greenwood residents were left homeless\, and up to 300 people had been murdered. Following the massacre\, the Greenwood district remained a shadow of itself\, and reports of the attack were largely unheard of for nearly a century.  \nAuthor Tim Madigan’s work gives an in -depth and haunting look into the events of that fateful day. Shedding light not only on the barbarism of the perpetrators in Tulsa\, but also exposing America’s long history of countless race massacres that occurred in the latter half of the nineteenth\, and first half of the twentieth\, centuries in the United States.

SUMMARY:Bilingual Storytime - Spanish Is the Language of My Family
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a bilingual storytime in partnership with the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino’s Young Ambassador Program. \nAn intergenerational story of family ties\, cultural pride\, and spelling bee victory following a young boy who bonds with his beloved abuela over a love of Spanish.
